I want to see how they sort out all of this time travel sh*t, its one of the trickiest plot devices to pull off right. I mean are they changing the past or were they always a part of it? Would Ethan been born if not for Juliet? Did Ben always know of Sayid and the rest? If they were in the past how did they get back to the present and have no knowledge of their past on the island. yadda yadda yadda.

Still can't get enough of this show.

Its not really that tricky to figure out.

They are not changing the past. Ben has known them all along and he has always knew them because he met them as a kid. He just didnt reveal that ever. Ethan would not have been born if it were not for Juliette. And your last question makes no sense. I mean, I get what your trying to say, but it doesnt make any sense. Just fall back and look at the situation with a level head and quit making it more confusing then it is.

if its one big loop wouldnt they all have to leave the island again then crash again. and if so how come nobody can remember. im confused. can some one explain.

Wtf dont you understand bro? When they finally do leave the island (if they do leave the island) and go back to the states, they will be 3+ years older then they were when they initially crashed on the island. That exact crash will happen over and over again the time at the exact same point it always did. They are 3+ years beyond that point at this time.

Although, I wouldnt be terribly surprised if everyone ends up dieing besides a couple of'm before the end of it all.

oh and btw the reason for this was I wanted to see if Ben acted like he recongized Jack, Kate and co. and any clues to the time travel plotline when he captured them but i forget Ben was already captured by them earlier in the season....

Ben has known this whole time that he could never die, because he was alive in 2007. I bet he found this out off-camera at some point during his childhood and that is why he has committed all the violent acts he has has carried out thus far.

so do you think the castaways will eventually be sent back to their original timelines? What happens if they stay in Ben/Dharma's timeline when the time of the initial crash happens?

personally i think that their going to go back to their orginal timeline, i think not untill the season finale tho bc there is still a lot that has to be explained that went on in the past.

I feel that the incident, and the pruge will be playing roles into the character arcs of certain characters proving that, whatever happened, happened.

i for one think that juillet and young ben will spend extra time together for some reason. Ben always had a thing for juliet based off the fact that she "looks just like her" someone from his past. Maybe it really was juilet?

Ethan wuldnt of been born without the help of her either.

i think this upcoming episode will prove that they cant change the future bc it already has happened.

We obviously know sayeed goes a lil looney next week and sawyer and jin can't protect him no more. Maybe his meeting with young ben sparks it?

i also like to think that we will be losing some big characters this season during the incident and the purge along with the obvious breaking relationships between the oceanic 6, sawyer and his dharama group, and the newcomers caeser and illana...specficilly them.

caesar seems like a hugeee protaganist. hes going to take charge of the ajira airlines crew.

anyone else think that guy phil? who told jack were to find sawyer is up to something? i think hes going to blow up their spot.

a better question is where did faraday go? maybe hes searchign for a way to get back to the present.

i also dont understand why sun was not transported back to the 70s with the rest of the oceanic 6.

juilet obviously going to beef wit kate. she blew up her spot on purpose at first...she dont want her touching sawyer.

is jack redy for to play the sidelines and let sawyer do his thing? tension is building like crazy, thats the first time i seen sawyer mad since last season like that.

but ! what im really hoping for this season is for a ben and henry gale flashback. since obviously we will never find out about libby....

Thats because it has not been discovered or possible yet or maybe ever so anyone can just have their own interpretation of how to use in film or tv which is why people cant say that this time travel theory is wrong and this one is right cuz its all just a theory that isnt even close to being a fact.

Yeah, technically there's no right or wrong to time travel which makes it so mind boggling.

But we've been accustomed to the "Butter Fly Effect" that's been incorporated in most movies and TV Shows (Back to the future, Terminator, Heroes, etc.).

However, Lost used time travel to explain the history of the Island which I thought was cool. But they eliminated the "Butterfly effect" which kind of threw everything off. Once they integrated everyones timeline...I kind of got confused.

the lost timeline is easy to understand - You cant change the future, bc its destiny.

destiny and fate play a key role in the show... i used to think that they culd in fact change the future... but im just going have to say that faradays theory is rite as far as we know so far.

the only thing i dont understand is why desmond can change it ie, postponing charlies death
